Abstract

In a starter car for a drilling device for mining underground deposits, including a base frame ( 5 ) mounted to rotate about a vertical axis ( 6 ) and a starter pipe ( 7 ) mounted to pivot about a substantially horizontal axis ( 13 ) and provided for receiving the drilling device, the starter pipe ( 7 ) is arranged to be displaceable relative to the base frame ( 5 ) transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A starter car for a drilling device for mining underground deposits, comprising:
 a base frame ( 5 ) mounted to rotate about a vertical axis ( 6 ), and 
 a starter pipe ( 7 ) mounted to pivot about a substantially horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) and arranged to receive the drilling device, wherein 
 the starter pipe ( 7 ) is arranged to be displaceable relative to the base frame ( 5 ) transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) in a generally horizontal plane; and, 
 the starter pipe ( 7 ) comprises axially extendible support elements ( 16 ,  17 ) mounted to be extendible in an axial direction of the starter pipe ( 7 ) to brace the starter pipe ( 7 ) within a road. 
 
     
     
       2. A starter car according to  claim 1 , wherein the starter pipe ( 7 ) is pivotally fixed to a carriage ( 10 ), and
 the carriage ( 10 ) is displaceable transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ). 
 
     
     
       3. A starter car according to  claim 2 , wherein the starter pipe ( 7 ) is guided in a pivotally mounted guide frame ( 15 ) so as to be displaceable transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ). 
     
     
       4. A starter car according to  claim 2 , wherein the substantially horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) extends below a horizontal central plane of the starter pipe ( 7 ). 
     
     
       5. A starter car according to  claim 2 , wherein the base frame ( 5 ) is rotationally mounted on a movable main frame ( 2 ). 
     
     
       6. A starter car according to  claim 1 , wherein the starter pipe ( 7 ) is guided in a pivotally mounted guide frame ( 15 ) so as to be displaceable transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ). 
     
     
       7. A starter car according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the starter pipe ( 7 ) is pivotally fixed to a carriage ( 10 ), 
 the carriage ( 10 ) is displaceable transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ), and 
 the guide frame ( 15 ) is pivotally mounted on the carriage ( 10 ). 
 
     
     
       8. A starter car according to  claim 7 , wherein a pivot drive ( 14 ) for pivoting the starter pipe ( 7 ) engages at the carriage ( 10 ). 
     
     
       9. A starter car according to  claim 7 , wherein the substantially horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) extends below a horizontal central plane of the starter pipe ( 7 ). 
     
     
       10. A starter car according to  claim 6 , wherein the substantially horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) extends below a horizontal central plane of the starter pipe ( 7 ). 
     
     
       11. A starter car according to  claim 6 , wherein the base frame ( 5 ) is rotationally mounted on a movable main frame ( 2 ). 
     
     
       12. A starter car according to  claim 1 , wherein the substantially horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) extends below a horizontal central plane of the starter pipe ( 7 ). 
     
     
       13. A starter car according to  claim 12 , wherein a pivot drive ( 14 ) for pivoting the starter pipe ( 7 ) engages at a carriage ( 10 ). 
     
     
       14. A starter car according to  claim 1 , wherein the base frame ( 5 ) is rotationally mounted on a movable main frame ( 2 ). 
     
     
       15. A starter car according to  claim 14 , wherein the movable main frame ( 2 ) comprises laterally extendible support elements ( 25 ) mounted for vertical support of the starter car. 
     
     
       16. A starter car according to  claim 1 , wherein a first one of the axially extendible support elements ( 16 ) is mounted to be adjustable to abut against a roof, and a second one of the axially extendible support elements ( 17 ) is mounted to be adjustable to abut against the base frame ( 5 ). 
     
     
       17. A starter car according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the axially extendible support elements ( 16 ,  17 ) comprises supporting struts ( 21 ) mounted so as to be foldable out laterally and pressable against a lateral face. 
     
     
       18. A starter car according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the starter pipe ( 7 ) is pivotally fixed to a carriage ( 10 ), 
 the carriage ( 10 ) is displaceable transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ), 
 the starter pipe ( 7 ) is guided in a pivotally mounted guide frame ( 15 ) so as to be displaceable transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ), 
 the guide frame ( 15 ) is pivotally mounted on the carriage ( 10 ), 
 the substantially horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) extends below a horizontal central plane of the starter pipe ( 7 ), 
 a pivot drive ( 14 ) for pivoting the starter pipe ( 7 ) engages at the carriage ( 10 ), 
 the base frame ( 5 ) is rotationally mounted on a movable main frame ( 2 ), 
 the movable main frame ( 2 ) comprises laterally extendible support elements ( 25 ) mounted for vertical support of the starter car, 
 a first one of the axially extendible support elements ( 16 ) is mounted to be adjustable to abut against a roof, and a second one of the axially extendible support elements ( 17 ) is mounted to be adjustable to abut against the base frame ( 5 ), and 
 at least one of the axially extendible support elements ( 16 ,  17 ) comprises supporting struts ( 21 ) mounted so as to be foldable out laterally and pressable against a lateral face.
